Cloudland

I loved this perfume. It’s definitely a far cry from what it's marketed as, but I found myself very pleasantly surprised. While I don't think Cloudland is necessarily the cozy second-skin scent I've seen pitched online, it's definitely worth a try if you're into fresh, mossy notes and also enjoy a good cashmere/soft musk scent. To me, it opens very bright and fresh. Clean, citrusy and slightly green, softened and sweetened a bit by white florals, slightly reminiscent of fresh laundry like a lot of people have mentioned. As it lingers in your nose, though, you get a bit of this mossy, petrichor-esqe note that I really adore. I think it cuts through the freshly laundered linen smell and adds a bit of earthiness that grounds the perfume as a whole. As it dries down you continue to get a bit more of the moss note as well as the nice musky/cashmere base. I really like how the scent settles into my skin. It's a comfortable, almost cozy, dry down that carries just enough of that green, earthy edge to keep it interesting, but not so much that it overpowers the softness of the cashmere and the florals. Cloudland is a very evocative perfume for me. It reminds me of visiting my grandparents at their house on a lake out in central Texas. The image that came to mind when I first smelled it was coming back to the house after spending the day out on the lake, getting flung off of an inner tube tied to the back of a speed boat over and over while your uncle behind the wheel tries his best to give you and your cousins brain damage from how hard you hit the water, and finally climbing into bed after washing off the dirty Texas lake water. And as you curl up under the covers, exhausted and a little sunburnt but freshly showered, there’s still the smell of lake water stuck in your nostrils and it mixes with the scent of warm freshly washed sheets. Anyways. That’s what it smells like to me. 10/10, Would recommend.

Based upon my own experience with this product, I have come to the conclusion that this fragrance perfectly encapsulates the vibes and sensations of rainfall. It is a very cozy and intimate scent, with a fresh floral opening and a light citrus musk that remains on your skin for hours! Without a doubt, one of the best performing fragrances that I have owned. I would classify this fragrance as a unisex scent, and one that would be suited for nearly any occasion. I believe this scent would coincide best with moderate to warm weather. For the price point, it would be extremely hard to find a better performing and longer lasting fragrance. Would recommend this heavy hitter to anybody!

Cloudland is great for spring and summer. I also recommend it for a bedtime scent. Wore it to work, and when I walked past someone entering a room they complimented it, saying they enjoyed its fresh profile. There's a note of rain, and it reminds me of what clean laundry drying on the line would smell like if it got caught in a rainstorm. Despite it being fresh, it's cozy. You smell it, and you want to lean in to smell it again. I wanted to add that I got their full discovery set, and this is the bottle I chose to receive with my discount! I was more impressed with their masculine scents. Cloudland is exactly what I was looking for at the time.

I had Shop Cash to blow so I bought a sample of this, among others from the brand, on a whim. This was the best smelling one, which isn’t saying much, as the other samples smelled horrendous. It is a fresh musky scent that has a bright quality to it. I find that it leans more masculine than what I normally go for. It smells bright and refined enough to be a luxury woman’s perfume but the masculinity really comes through in the dry down when it takes on the qualities of the heavier notes. So if you’re a feminine fragrance lover who’s feeling experimental, use a light hand or layer to avoid that men’s deodorant vibe in the dry down.

Smells like clothes fresh from the dryer and has the vibe of those rainy spring days where the sun is just barely hidden behind the clouds. Perfectly unisex, two sprays might be a bit much if you work in a close-quarters office setting, but it's perfect for just about anywhere else. I got it in a sample pack to fill the empty spot when I ordered the fragrances I ACTUALLY wanted to begin with, but a single spritz had me desperately in love, and out of the hundred of fragrances I've tried over the last few years, Cloudland is easily among my top five, if not top three.
